For the last exhibition in the patio before extensions to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, begin, Dutch artist Krijn de Koning will be taking over this remarkable setting with a monumental site-specific work. The piece in question is a powerful, compact construction made up entirely of white partition walls: in this combination of the monumental and the sober the artist abandons the colour that has so far been such a marked feature of his work. Taking possession of the entire patio, he brings radical change in terms of volumes and surfaces: unexpected angles and shifting points of view force visitors to see the site in a totally new light, encouraging them to actively develop a mobile, panoramic perceptual approach.
